Tornado Warning for Stafford VA

SPC upgraded to Enhanced for NC/SC and GA for wind. They are waiting to see if our region needs to be upgraded at the next update.

We have quite a few breaks in the clouds, and the sun is doing it's thing.

Nice steady and now heavy rain, 0.71" so far.

2.62" for the day and 4.62" since April 1st. Crisp and breezy morning.

2.62" for the day, and 4.62" since April 1st.

Nice soaking rain underway. Hope the folks NW of DC and Baltimore cash in as much as possible.

A Day 2 HIGH Risk issued just a bit ago for central MS/AL.

New development along the back edge.

Near Bryans Road just across the Potomac River there was a CC drop on the last scan.

Southern VA just got a mesoscale discussion with a 60 percent chance of a watch.

Williamsburg down to Norfolk 6 to 10 inches, Norfolk to Va Beach and Chesapeake 9 to 12 inches.

And just as I typed that, visibility has improved markedly. Can see broken cloud layers above now.

Hill on South Pickett Street down to Duke St was caving. I can imagine Duke Street is fine.

Roads are caving in Alexandria...not enough traffic yet.

Parking lot and all vehicles have now been covered on the west end of Alexandria.

There was a small CC drop and a defined couplet for a few scans, right over Short Pump and up to Glen Allen. It has weakened since then.

8.2 inches,maybe more but compaction was well underway when I measured. Over 21 inches for the season. Hope we can pull another event that spreads the wealth around.

If you ever get to experience one of those 45 minute drives that becomes 8 hours, let alone multiple....get back to me

There were numerous drivers heading INTO Maryland from VA that also gridlocked RT5 on the hills because their Dodge Chargers were spinning out and going forward....this was at 5pm.....The massive traffic mess the day before the January 2016 blizzard ALSO happened this same way....numerous MARYLAND drivers with vehicles and tires that spun out and stalled and trapped numerous others because their vehicles and driving skills were ZERO on the 1 to 10 scale

Mainly snow now and all surfaces are caving.

Sleet and snow now here south of Waldorf, and down to 33 degrees.
